Longitudinal Relationship Between Hearing Aid Use and Cognitive Function in Older Americans

Objectives To test whether hearing aid use alters cognitive trajectories in older adults. Design US population‐based longitudinal cohort study Setting Data were drawn from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), which measured cognitive performance repeatedly every 2 years over 18 years (1996–2014)....

Zusammenfassung:	Objectives To test whether hearing aid use alters cognitive trajectories in older adults. Design US population‐based longitudinal cohort study Setting Data were drawn from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), which measured cognitive performance repeatedly every 2 years over 18 years (1996–2014). Participants Adults aged 50 and older who who took part in a minimum of 3 waves of the HRS and used hearing aids for the first time between Waves 4 and 11 (N=2,040). Measurements Cognitive outcomes were based on episodic memory scores determined according to the sum of immediate and delayed recall of 10 words. Results Hearing aid use was positively associated with episodic memory scores (β=1.53, p
